Performance, evaluation, and enhancement of hydrated cement treated crushed rock base (HCTCRB) as a road base material for Western Australian roads

Hydrated Cement Treated Crushed Rock Base (HCTCRB) is produced by mixing a standard crushed rock base with 2% cement (by mass) and water then a re-mixing process is performed after the specific hydration period.

Description
Summary:Hydrated Cement Treated Crushed Rock Base (HCTCRB) is produced by mixing a standard crushed rock base with 2% cement (by mass) and water then a re-mixing process is performed after the specific hydration period. This technique improves the engineering characteristics of the materials while still maintain the unbound properties. Performance evaluation of HCTCRB was investigated with variation of factors during manufacturing and construction. Finally, the experimental results were implemented for the pavement analysis and design.
